Deeply saddened and shocked by the passing of K. Bhagyaraj sir.
It feels especially unreal because I had the opportunity to meet him recently at Khushbu’s daughter’s wedding and spend some time with him.
Bhagyaraj sir was a creative genius whose contributions to Indian cinema go far beyond what many people know. He was the original creator behind stories that went on to become landmark Hindi films and career-defining milestones for so many of us.
Woh Saat Din, adapted from his work, became one of the most important films of my career. Mohabbat, with its story, screenplay and dialogues by Bhagyaraj sir, not only gave us a memorable film but also helped launch the journey of Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria as producers through Maruti International.
Later, Beta, another adaptation of his brilliant writing, became a blockbuster and remains one of the defining films of its era. Boney and I had acquired the rights and passed them on to Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria during a difficult phase in their journey. The film went on to become a massive success, with all of us receiving tremendous recognition.
Another remarkable example of Bhagyaraj sir’s brilliance was Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Directed by David Dhawan, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, and starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, the film’s story and screenplay were by Bhagyaraj sir and adapted into Hindi by Anees Bazmee. The film became a major success and marked another important milestone in Akshay Kumar’s career.
The seeds of all these successes were planted by Bhagyaraj sir. We adapted his stories for Hindi audiences, but the true creator was always him. His writing touched countless lives and careers, mine included. He helped shape the journeys of actors, filmmakers and producers across generations, often without receiving the recognition he truly deserved.
I will always remain grateful for what he contributed to my career and to Indian cinema as a whole. His legacy will live on through the stories he created and the countless people he inspired.
My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. He will be deeply missed.
Rest in peace, Bhagyaraj sir. 🙏
@IndiGo6E@IndiGo6E It’s just a formality for you I have provided all the details none of your team has reached. I am stranded here without any assistance or information. Time and again Air France is requesting confirmation from you.
@IndiGo6E Your flight from Chennai to Delhi 6E698 was diverted to Jaipur and it had a delayed landing in Delhi. My connecting flight to Paris has been missed , now Air France states system shows your flight landed on time. He is asking to contact Indigo I am being shuttled across
@airfrance Your Indian customer contact number isn’t working. Today due to bad weather in Delhi connecting flight from Delhi has been missed. No Ground staff in Terminal 1 and no one to respond to any questions. Is this how you treat your customer ?
@iamdatemike@IndiGo6E I sincerely think it’s because of the tweet 🙃 My friend is also in the same flight and he has also received gift bags. Thank you 🙏🏻
@AAI_Official - please note the discriminatory treatment meted out by @IndiGo6E by only giving water and food to their premium rows in the flight when we are waiting in Jaipur.
@IndiGo6E your flight attendants are only serving those in the first three rows (your premium rows) while the rest of us aren’t getting anything - not even water while waiting in Jaipur airport. (Chennai to Delhi flight)
The boarding was at 4 pm
This is atrocious.
@IndiGo6E flight from Chennai to Delhi re routed to Jaipur because of the weather
We were in the air for four airs and now inside the plane in Jaipur for an hour. Your staff haven’t offered as much as water to all the passengers trapped on board here
Absolutely pathetic service
Hello @TVKVijayHQ
உங்களுக்கு வாக்களித்த 1,72,26,000 மக்களை நம்பாமல், மூட நம்பிக்கையைப் பரப்பும் ஒரு ஆளை நம்புவதெல்லாம் இமாலயத் தவறு.
We, the people of Tamil Nadu, cannot pay for your superstition. Please sack #RickeyRadhanPanditVetrivel as Officer on Special Duty. If he is so dispensable, please pay him from TVK coffers.
@CMOTamilnadu
Appointment of astrologer Radhan Pandit has drawn significant criticism against the TVK govt.
One of the reasons the DMK govt’s image up in 2021 was the appointment of officers such as Irai Anbu, Sylendra Babu as DGP, and Udhayachandran as Secretary-1.
Public image is very imp.
